FIFA 15 – a safe pair of hands

FIFA 15 - a safe pair of hands

 

The lack of meaningful advancement isn’t just limited to the gameplay, as the interface and single-player modes are so similar to fIFA 15 Coins we almost expected EA to describe this as a ‘Legacy Edition’. They haven’t even bothered to copy across new ideas introduced in their last gen-only World Cup game, despite things like making training drills part of the career mode being such obviously good ideas.

The lack of attention given to the single-player modes is clearly because EA’s focus is on the ever popular Ultimate Team, which on the Xbox One also has the Ultimate Team Legends retro players. The community elements have been expanded again this year, with loan players now making it much easier to acquire that superstar striker you’ve always wanted. You can create dream team line-ups before you buy anyone and all the share and comment facilities mean you can chat and strategise with friends in what has become literally a game in itself.

But just because Ultimate Team is successful (and lucrative) is no excuse for EA ignoring the rest of the game. Given that the problem with yearly sports updates is finding anything useful to change and add actively ignoring obvious problems, and making others worse, shows a very strange sense of priorities.

It’s not all bad news though and the new Team Sheets option is probably the best new feature in FIFA 15, as it allows you detailed control over the tactics of every player. It almost turns FIFA into a player manager title and is hopefully going to be an area of further expansion in the future.

Even ignoring the lack of competition (PES 2015 isn’t out till November 13) FIFA 15 is still a good game, but it confuses changes with improvements and many will find last year’s game to be the more enjoyable. Perhaps it’s because the franchise is still stuck between generations, and it’ll take at least till next year to focus things entirely on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

But whatever the excuse it would be nice to see changes implemented because they were the best decision for the game, not just a necessity of selling this year’s new product.

In Short: Different but certainly not better, despite the amazing next gen visuals FIFA has never seemed so indecisive and lacking in direction.

Pros: The graphics and presentation are fantastic, and the ‘emotional intelligence’ works very well. Ultimate Team is as engrossing as ever, with some useful new additions.

Cons: No sense of continuity with last year’s game and defending is now often a chore. New goalies are deeply flawed. Almost no changes to single-player mode.
